TAG 2

PROGRAMM

Over 100 keynotes, master classes, expert panels and workshops and almost 150 speakers* from 3 continents await you at the Liederhalle Stuttgart on July 3 and 4, 2025.

Day 1 looks out of the education system itself: with best practices, scientific insights and proven transformation. Day 2 opens the perspective from outside – with impulses from business, the creative scene and society that make education radically rethink.

The 2026 Opportunity Summit is designed as a working and dialogue format. The aim is to bring together different experiences, perspectives, and roles of responsibility in order to jointly develop concrete and implementable solutions to key challenges in the education system.

Participation in the Opportunity Summit is by invitation from the Federal Parents' Council and the Federal Student Conference. Due to the limited number of delegate places, the composition of participants is deliberately curated. This is not about evaluating individuals, but rather about achieving a balanced mix of students, parent representatives, educational policy perspectives, and actors from extracurricular experience and practice areas.

The following interest and profile survey serves to better understand your perspective, motivation, and possible role in the work process and to put together the working groups accordingly.

After the registration deadline on March 1, 2026, we will inform you by April 1, 2026, at the latest, about the specific agenda and organizational details of your participation in Stuttgart.

I want to help shape the future as a delegate, politician, or journalist...
